China blocking resupply mission in Ayungin Shoal ‘objectionable’

Malacañang on Monday said a Chinese Coast Guard ship having blocked the path of three Philippine civilian vessels on a resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea is “objectionable” and the Department of Foreign Affairs is already preparing to file a protest against this action.

A document from the Department of National Defense (DND) showed the incident happened last May 14.
